I so want AMD to do well lets hope for 1080ti performance or more the GPU market really needs competition

Somehow this very plain design looks nice. In my blac and red system this is obviously where one of these babies should be.... Now I just need to convince my wife that I need one of these. Hahaha!

Another high-end card with a tiny fan. :bang:
Not that I would get the 64 because it uses a bit too much juice to begin with but I just don't get why the cooler does not get upgraded properly.

What a tease AMD is, first ThreadRipper now Vega...Let's hope it's not too late.
I was about to direct an offensive comment at you, Sr.
You can wait for Vega 56 or have Nvidia options today like the 1070/1080.
How's that possible? With the blower design the top card will burn hot!

The reference non-limited ed. model looks super-plain, and identical to Fury. I don't care for it at all. The limited ed. looks very cool IMO.
Also, cryptocurrency "mining" is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. How is this even a thing? I have some serious questions about it-- where do the "encrypted coins" come from, and how does decrypting them make them yours to keep?
And why does decryption difficulty increase?

Will there be a Ryzen machine chucked into the results to see if there are any benefits to an all AMD rig or maybe a separate review altogether, I know your a busy bunch but how awesome would it be to be the guys that found it, maybe in after release date drivers and or next agesa update

Blower coolers can be good or bad, it really depends on the quality of the components involved. I hate to bring Nvidia into it, but there FE blower coolers are actually pretty decent, AMD's reference blower coolers have not been nearly as good the past several generations in my experience. We shall see how well the new cooler and GPU from AMD fares in HH's review in a few more hours. 🙂
I do like a blower cooler for the bottom GPU in a Crossfire/SLI setup to exhaust as much of the bottom GPU's heat outside the case instead of it rising up into the top GPU. With a blower cooler on the bottom and an AIB cooler on the top I've done well with the last few dual GPU systems I've dealt with.
